Not been a massive task to get there but the Manitous were sourced from here (thanks archangel), FSA Headset is an upgrade but period correct (thanks to ibelieveinfixies) and suspensionforkparts.net supplied the replacement elastomers for the manitous.
It's not original spec but there are reasons for this, I had the Manitous fitted before delivery and I like them looks and performance wise and it would have cost me a fortune for the zocchi XC400's which were by all accounts a bit plop, so Manitous it is.
The saddle was originally a flite ti, but my wider sit bones don't get on with them and I want to ride it so a WTB it was.
The original headset was a cheapo (a bit odd on a £1000 bike really) and the FSA is better lighter.
The original pedals were also cheap wellgos and I've had the SPD's since new and they are period correct, however I think I will get some non-period outland flatties for actually riding. I don't get on with SPD's off road.
All in all I am pleased to have it back to near original spec and my even enter it for BOTM.
First outing could be next weekend at the IOW ride if the weather gets better.

Unusual model, very clean lines, the nicest looking forks of the period, I like it a lot despite the flouro orange paintjob. I never could stand that kind of colors BITD (well, hem, I bought a green 1990 MF CC 2 years ago but that's different, hey it's green !)
